Weekly debuts news-analysis webcast

The odd thing about this discussion about the incident at Jordan was that they didn't talk much about the actual incident. [Portion removed.]

It's really unfair to say the school resources officers mishandled this incident when we have so little information about the incident itself.

I wish the Weekly staff could have done some more digging to explain what happened. [Portion removed.]

Mr. Censor, you cut the heart out of my posting about this incident at Jordan. Guess there are certain things that are too touchy to talk about. Here's an exact quote from the Weekly's story on this incident:

"On the second day of school, the two officers arrived at Jordan to "mediate a dispute" among three students, one of whom was afraid of another and did not want to go to school as a result, according to police spokesman Lt. Zach Perron."

The following is a verbatim quote from your YouTube show:

Bill Johnson: “We should probably mention, it was mentioned in your story, but not here, that one of the kids involved is African American. And I think the parent response has come from the parents of minority kids who have a concern that there is a bigger issue here that needs to be addressed."

Johnson continues: ". . . And of course the police were very quick to point out that one of the school resource officers is also African American and that race played no part in any of the actions or decisions that were made. But I think that made this a more emotional situation than this might of otherwise would have been."

So what happened between these three kids?

What incident at Jordan middle school? Did the weekly carry a story about it.

What a great idea, Weekly folks. I bet this will be popular - I know it will be in my household.

@ Winter - The article with the Webcast has a link to the Jordan Middle School story.
However, the Jordan Middle School article does not have a link to the Webcast, so it's easy to miss related content.
It sounded like a parents organization wrote to the Board of Education or Superintendent. The PAUSD web site on Records Request only has documents up to March, 2015.

I think it's fair to ask the Weekly what happened between these kids.[Portion removed.] How is this different from the bullying reports that became federal investigations in recent years? Why is this aspect of the story being swept under the rug? Is there a racial aspect to it?
